#1988 - First Armor

The entire arena fell silent as people watched this scene in shock.

How could the members of the Apricot Flower Village team be so strong?

Those were the higher-ups of the Wu family, a group of veteran powerhouses, yet they were instantly killed by a single finger's sword wave.

When did Apricot Flower Village produce such a ferocious and powerful figure?

With such a strong person in their village, why have they been suppressed by Mang Village all these years?

While shocked, people felt very puzzled.

However, some people were not surprised by this scene.

Even the Heavenly One Sect was destroyed by benefactor, let alone the Wu family's higher-ups.

The benefactor's power was unfathomable; they were the existence that slaughtered the entire Heavenly One Sect in one night.

The Wu family was blind, their hostility towards Apricot Flower Village was too great, clamoring to kill Hua Qi and to intimidate Apricot Flower Village into not daring to emerge.

Saying such words sealed their fate.

Everything has a cause.

The Wu family planted evil seeds and immediately reaped the bitter fruit on the spot.

They brought it upon themselves.

The other second-tier forces were all frightened, breaking out in cold sweat.

Many of them had some degree of hostility towards Apricot Flower Village.

If it weren't for Hua Qi displaying such powerful strength, they would have already gone on stage to challenge him.

Everyone knew that Mang Village had been suppressing Apricot Flower Village for generations.

Mang Village did so because there were powerful forces behind them giving instructions.

Meaning, if they could eliminate Apricot Flower Village's pure-blooded emperor, it might attract the attention of that powerful force.

Now, witnessing such a scene, they felt ice-cold all over, their backs breaking out in cold sweat.

"You… you… you are Jun Wuxie?"

The Wu family head was curled up on the ground, his bones and meridians broken, his internal organs shattered, his mouth full of blood.

At this moment, he finally realized who the person in front of him was.

He had heard that Jun Wuxie also came from Pingsha Ancient Town.

The person in front of him had such terrifying strength; if it wasn't the person who slaughtered the Heavenly One Sect that night, who else could it be?

Jun Wuxie did not respond.

He didn't even have the interest to respond, reaching out and covering the Wu family head's head.

Instantly, the Wu family head let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The sound made many people tremble, their hearts filled with fear, not daring to breathe.

Soon, the Wu family head's sea of consciousness was thoroughly searched.

When Jun Wuxie retracted his palm, the Wu family head was already lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, his body twitching slightly, looking like he wouldn't survive.

If it was just soul-searching, the Wu family head's fate wouldn't have been so miserable.

The main reason was that Jun Wuxie shattered his primordial spirit after the soul search ended.

The Wu family were both the lackeys of the Lanling King, and their hostility towards Apricot Flower Village was too deep.

How could he possibly show mercy to such a force?

The four Wu family contestants who had been thrown onto the dueling stage were now all paralyzed on the stage.

They were collapsing, their hearts were swallowed by immense fear, their bodies trembled convulsively, their faces were pale, sweat poured down like rain, and their pupils dilated.

Some forces, amidst their fear, hoped that the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao would take action to punish Jun Wuxie.

After all, this was the Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament; his actions might anger the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao.

As a result, the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao did not react in any way.

At this time, Jun Wuxie walked towards the dueling stage.

When the four Wu family contestants saw him coming, they were so frightened that they crawled on the ground, wanting to escape from here, to flee for their lives.

Fear completely robbed them of their composure, and they had already forgotten that they were cultivators.

Their brains were in chaos, a blank space.

Seeing this scene, Jun Wuxie felt very bored.

Originally, taking action against these small fries was already boring enough, but these people were so unbearable that they were scared out of their wits.

Dong!

The bell of order rang, indicating the start of the duel.

This bell sound was no different from a death knell for the four Wu family contestants, scaring them to the point of almost fainting.

Jun Wuxie flicked out a few strands of finger light, instantly piercing through the four Wu family contestants' blessed paradises, causing them to let out miserable screams.

A large amount of divine rule essence poured out from their shattered blessed paradises.

Jun Wuxie did not kill them.

These people were too unbearable; killing them would lower his status.

He only shattered their blessed paradises, disintegrated their starry seas, turning them into ordinary people without true essence.

Of course, they were, after all, former cultivators; without true essence, they still had physical strength, which was naturally much stronger than that of true ordinary people.

However, in this world where everyone can cultivate to some extent, their fate can be imagined.

Even if they keep a low profile from now on, it will be difficult.

Because the Wu family will inevitably have enemies.

How could those who had suffered the Wu family's anger in the past easily let them off?

"Apricot Flower Village team's Jun Wuxie wins five consecutive victories against the Wu family team, earning five points.

Please step down to rest and give the dueling opportunity to others."

The Avatar of the Heavenly Dao's voice sounded at this time.

This was the tournament rule; everyone must step down after winning five matches.

This was also to prevent particularly strong contestants from continuing to fight, leaving other teams with no chance.

Jun Wuxie walked off the stage, returned to the table, sat down, and leisurely drank tea, as if everything just now had never happened.

At this time, the silent arena finally boiled over, instantly becoming a scene of clamorous uproar.

So this is Jun Wuxie, the super powerhouse who slaughtered the Heavenly One Sect overnight!

Heavens!

How could he be a member of the Apricot Flower Village team, and so young!

People were shocked by his identity and age.

Soon, people realized that the current Apricot Flower Village, with such a powerful backer, was probably no longer what it used to be.

Judging from Jun Wuxie's methods, Mang Village, which had been suppressing Apricot Flower Village for generations, was probably already destroyed.

It was just that the distance was too far, and the news had not yet reached the county town.

"So the strongman who made the Heavenly One Sect vanish from the world overnight is him!"

"Never mind, even if he is from the Apricot Flower Village team, so what?

He destroyed the Heavenly One Sect, which is a favor to us!

Otherwise, we would all have to be worried, afraid that yin year, yin month, yin day children would appear in our descendants, which would be a catastrophe!

Now we don't have to worry, the Heavenly One Sect has been destroyed.

He solved a huge hidden danger for us and dispelled the haze in our hearts!"

"That's right, Young Master Jun is our hero!"

… …

For a time, there were countless discussions in the arena, most of which were full of respect and gratitude towards him.

This atmosphere lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding.

Slowly, contestants from other participating forces took the stage.

The tournament duel continued.

In the afternoon, Hua Qi took the stage again, completing all of today's matches and unsurprisingly obtaining full points.

The top sixteen were determined.

Small Round Mountain and Misty Ripple Island successfully qualified.

These two forces almost suffered complete annihilation, with only one contestant left in the end, and all the others were eliminated.

However, these were no longer important.

They advanced to the top sixteen, meaning that they had entered the ranks that could receive rewards in this county-level competition.

As for the upcoming battle for the top eight, Misty Ripple Island and Small Round Mountain did not hold out hope.

Their ultimate goal this time was the top sixteen.

After all, in the county competition, it was extremely difficult to enter the top sixteen.

They were well aware that if it weren't for Lord Jun deliberately helping them, they would not have been able to enter the top sixteen with their strength.

Probably the Lin family and the Wu Clan were giving Lord Jun face, otherwise they would not have eliminated so many second-tier forces.

Even Hua Qi prioritized choosing second-tier forces for duels, and then helped them knock out several strong competitors.

Others may not be able to see it, but they were very clear that Lord Jun was deliberately helping them qualify.

They met by chance, without any friendship, but Lord Jun was willing to put his mind to it for them.

This kindness was too deep.

They were very moved in their hearts and deeply remembered it.

The next day, the competition continued, with the top sixteen vying for the top eight.

Unsurprisingly, Small Round Mountain and Misty Ripple Island were eliminated.

Those in the top sixteen, half of whom were local forces from the county town and its surroundings, were much stronger than the teams from various towns.

However, eight teams from various towns also entered the top sixteen, and they were already very satisfied, not caring whether they could enter the top eight.

Rest at night and continue the competition during the day.

The top eight that qualified were now vying for the top four.

Among these top eight, the contestants from those second-rate forces were not weak, but rather very strong.

If it weren't for the strongmen Wu Xu and Lin Mo from the Wu Clan and the Lin family, it would not have been easy to deal with them.

This surprised them somewhat.

They did not expect that these second-rate forces would cultivate such excellent disciples, some of whom had very good talent.

By the afternoon, the top four teams had emerged.

Apricot Flower Village, Wu Clan, Lin family, and Wind and Cloud Gate.

Wind and Cloud Gate was a second-rate force, and its sect was located around the county town.

Two of their contestants were very strong, only slightly inferior to Wu Xu and Lin Mo, and basically able to compete with the second strongest of the Wu Clan and Lin family teams.

Another night, after resting, the top three competition was ushered in in the early morning.

The rules of the top three competition were fair, with each team sending contestants to take turns dueling with the other three teams.

In this way, it could be avoided who was targeting whom.

However, even so, Wind and Cloud Gate was still eliminated.

Although their strength was strong, they were ultimately inferior to the Wu Clan and the Lin family, and even more so to Apricot Flower Village.

The top three qualifying teams were determined, but the rankings were not yet determined.

Next, the Apricot Flower Village, Wu Clan, and Lin family teams will compete for the top, second, and third places.

In order to give Hua Qi more practical experience, Jun Wuxie rejected the idea of the Lin family head and the Wu Clan head admitting defeat.

Besides, this was, after all, the Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament, and they had to go on stage for a duel; it would be too boring if they all admitted defeat.

Hua Qi's battle against Wu Xu was not difficult.

Although the effect of Jingya's tea on Huazaki's divine sense had long since disappeared, he still won.

However, after the two fought for a full half hour, Huazaki's consumption was also considerable, and Wu Xu lost convincingly.

While Huazaki was resting, Jun Wuxie stepped onto the stage.

Seeing him on stage, the contestants from the Lin family and Wu Sect were silent.

No one dared to go on stage to meet the challenge.

Just kidding, who could beat this guy? He was the one who destroyed the Heavenly One Sect.

Not to mention the younger generation, even the entire sect and family combined would be no match.

In the end, someone from both teams still went on stage.

But instead of fighting, they went on stage and directly conceded defeat.

People were not surprised by this, it was all within expectations.

Fight?

Wouldn't that be like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating itself?

After that, the contestants from the Lin family and Wu Sect also engaged in a duel.

After Huazaki recovered to his peak state, he continued to play against Lin Mo.

Round after round of duels, the Apricot Blossom Village team's score had already taken a clear lead.

In the end, the Lin family won the second prize, and the Wu Sect won the third prize.

The bell of order rang, declaring the end of the top three competition.

"Congratulations to the Apricot Blossom Village team, the Lin family team, and the Wu Sect team for winning the first, second, and third prizes respectively in the Heavenly Gift Battle county competition.

Now, please the top sixteen, top eight, top four, and top three teams come to the stage to receive their rewards."

One after another, more than a dozen teams walked onto the duel stage.

People were extremely envious, it was time to distribute the rewards.

Those were all high-level resources, truly enviable.

People couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, if they could get these rewards, they would definitely become strong in the future.

On the other hand, those forces that were eliminated were not only envious but also extremely jealous.

They only hated that their team's strength was insufficient and they were eliminated early.

Some forces were also annoyed in their hearts.

For example, the second-tier forces.

With their strength, they could have completely entered the top sixteen or top eight.

As a result, they were targeted by Apricot Blossom Village and the first-tier forces, otherwise, how could they have reached this point!

How hateful!

Seeing boxes flowing with the light of order appearing in the sky, steadily falling into the hands of the representatives of those winning teams, they cursed inwardly, their mood extremely bad.

But they never looked for the reason from themselves.

They only knew that they were being targeted, but they didn't know why they were being targeted.

All the second-tier forces that were eliminated in the top sixteen and top eight competitions harbored hostility towards Apricot Blossom Village.

How could Jun Wuxie's divine sense perception not be sharp? How could he not see it?

Therefore, he had the Lin family and Wu Sect eliminate those forces early, not allowing them to qualify.

"Master, this is a second-grade, sub-top-grade God Pill!"

Huazaki opened the box in his hand, looking at the dozens of God Pills quietly placed inside, among which the patterns on the surface of five pills were obviously more numerous than the patterns of other pills, and the medicinal fragrance was even more fragrant and rich.

He trembled slightly with excitement.

Although he had followed his master into the mountains when he was in the village, at that time his master had hunted and killed a Vicious Beast of the True God Absolute Heaven Rank, and the crystal core of that Vicious Beast was of a higher grade than this pill.

But the crystal core of the Vicious Beast could only be regarded as a conventional resource.

And this God Pill rewarded by the competition was different, it was a special resource, and the speed of refining it during cultivation could be increased by more than ten times!

"With these pills, your and Hua Qing and Hua Hu's realm cultivation will be much easier."

Jun Wuxie took out a portion of the pills from the pills.

He was going to take them to the Eight Nine Mysterious Palace for Lingfei and Wanwan and the others.

Now, they also need these resources to break through the realm.

People's eyes were focused on the God Pills in the hands of the team representatives, and the entire arena was filled with rapid breathing.

They were envious to death, and also jealous to death.

This was the true inner portrayal of many people at this moment.

"The rewards for the top sixteen to the top three of the competition have all been distributed.

Now, except for the first-place team, everyone else leaves the duel stage."

The voice of the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao sounded.

The teams left one after another and returned to their original positions under the stage.

"The first-place team has obtained the qualification for the Ultimate Challenge, will you proceed with the Ultimate Challenge?"

"Of course."

Although Jun Wuxie knew that she was asking knowingly, after all, it was a competition, so she always had to follow the procedure.

"Qi'er, you go down first."

He said to Huazaki beside him.

Huazaki put away the God Pills and immediately left the duel stage.

He was quite confident in his master's strength, it was just an Ultimate Challenge.

At this moment, two rays of the light of order were cast down from the high heavens, evolving into two figures.

These two figures exuded a powerful aura, and even had a slight hint of heavenly might, after all, they were evolved from the power of the Heavenly Dao Order.

The arena suddenly became silent.

People were a little horrified, feeling a strong sense of oppression from those two Order Avatars.

That was the challenge target of the First Heaven of the Hundred Worlds Myth, evolved from order, and inviolable by all laws.

Although Jun Wuxie was strong, could he really succeed in the challenge against an opponent who was inviolable by all laws?

You must know that the so-called inviolability by all laws means that all supernatural powers, secret arts, and true qi attacks cannot cause any harm to it, and it is completely invincible from birth.

Such a challenge target was despairing, and theoretically impossible to defeat!
